Something similar happened in Vancouver not long ago only this was a couple that were set on fire. What is even more sad about this is that it should have been their last night on the street, they had finally saved enough to rent a small apt.

This is disgraceful. I'd like to see some closed circuit video (everywhere in L.A.) nail the guy who did this. He needs to be in custody. Heartbreaking story...
